Football practice begins this week and with it the annual unveiling of the true capabilities of the true freshmen. Nowhere is this winnowing of contributors more crucial to the season than NC State, where a highly touted recruiting class is expected to deliver an influx of immediate help at several skill positions.

Former NC State star T.J. Warren, now with the Phoenix Suns, talks about the coming back to Raleigh and participating in the "Building a Stronger Raleigh Together” campaign. Warren and NBA veteran David West participated in a charity basketball game at Broughton High School in Raleigh Saturday August 1, 2015, to raise money for the "Building a Stronger Raleigh" campaign.
